Chairman Mitchell said that Ron DeTota would give brief overview of the Annual Report. He began by explaining that the DEC is obligated to oversee the health and welfare of the environmental water quality and quantity and must impose rules to prepare and summarize repairs and maintenance. He discussed the use of porous pavement to ease the burden on the infrastructure. Jim Palumbo asked about the performance of the porous roadways. Mr. DeTota said that they are performing well. The water is absorbed into the subbase below. He added that the Town of Clay has obtained Grant money to repair some of the roadways in the Bayberry Community with excellent results. Mr. DeTota discussed other ways to treat stormwater such as the Carrier Dome uses for the flushing of toilets.
